1989 FX4 BII, resto-mod project

[kroussinoffroad]

had a buddy back in highschool that had headlight covers for day time driving. still makes me laugh to think how often i would see him pulling into the school parking lot with his offroad lights on cuz he was too lazy or it was just too cold for him to want to take the covers off in the morning.

 

[Boggin]

i have them on my mustang and theres nothing wrong wit it, i dont be out early enough to need my headlights in the morning, earliest ill be out is 8-9am and its broad daylight then, and i can jus take them off when i go home for supper

 

[Boggin]

my buddy is mixing up the paint for me tomorrow for the b2! lustreless olive drab it is! then im gonna get her painted hopefully by the weekend!

 

[Boggin]

rims painted with black rubberized rocker guard. they are drying now, ill post pics when i put them back on the b2.

 

[Boggin]

rims are painted black and i got some pics, theyre uploading now. i also put in new brake shoes and springs in the rear and now i got no brakes on the rear. i looked and theres fluid leaking out of the drum so im thinking i got a bad wheel cylinder. i might swap out the whole axle from the other ranger if i got to

 

[Boggin]

well here she is now

i was gonna paint her that green but **** that. weezl inspired me, shes goin vista blue metallic and dark shadow grey. same pattern as weezls too. blue all over with the grey down from the bottom body line and the center of the hood.

lol i've got a gallon of paint at my brother's place, it's ALMOST DSG, but even darker... it's to paint my mustang that i haven't driven in like 2 years... haven't even seen it in 2 years...

 

[Boggin]

told my buddy the paint codes last night for the vista blue metallic and dark shadow grey, hes seeing if he can mix it up now. hopefully i can get the paint today.
then i need to replace the wheel cylinder so i can have brakes again and drive it to the body shop and get her sprayed!
